Josie is described on Zoya's site as "a full-coverage grassy green cream."

This was completely opaque in two coats and applied perfectly. I couldn't ask for anything better.

With my collection of green nail polish growing, I decided to show you a few of the others I have for comparison sake. These aren't necessarily dupes, but I always like to see other greens to compare.

As you can see, Essie Mojito Madness is pretty darn close to Zoya Josie. It's a bit more cool...Josie may have a little more yellow in the formula, but they are very similar. Not sure if you can still get Mojito Madness in stores - it may have been Limited Edition, so I think Josie is a great alternative - especially the formula.

Julep Leah is also pretty similar, but it has a bit of a sheen to the formula (that doesn't show as much on the nails as in the bottle) and leans a little more "neon". The photo below shows more direct light and you can see the brightness of Leah better.

I know OPI Jade is the New Black isn't even close, I just wanted to show it in comparison to the rest. And Revlon Posh is a perfect true green. Love it!

I hope this helps if you are trying to sort through the greens that are on the market. I actually have another green coming from overseas from an awesome nail polish friend that offered to send it to me...along with some other goodies. Thanks Becca from Horcrux Nails - you are the BEST!

Hi Essie, this is a wonderful post!! Josie looks like made for you - it is a must-have in my eyes, the perfect fresh and intense green, like those fresh green medows we both (along with the geese ;-)) long for!!! And great comparison, truly helpful and despite having Essie Mojito Madness I feel totally drawn to get my nails on Josie and visa-versa - LOL!!!

Gorgeous photos, gorgeous color! I need this one in my life soooo baaaaad! I've been wondering about how close Jade is the New Black and Posh are, but have been too lazy to swatch, myself, so thanks :) :) I appreciate it! ;)
